6 Note: We previously counted this case as a “birther case.” We did so based on some secondary reporting on the case, which was the only information available at the time
because the docket was “sealed” and not available to the public. However, it has since become available and our review indicates that although the plaintiffs clearly sought to
prevent Obama from serving as President, they did not base their opposition on any birther theories; rather, the apparent basis was the fact that Obama is not white. Therefore, we
have removed this case from the “count,” while keeping the RECAP/related information available for archival purposes.

Note: This case was apparently filed as an original action in the Supreme Court in June 2009. However, it was never docketed. It was subsequently included as an exhibit in
document #69, filed in Barnett v. Obama (C.D. Cal.) on September 21, 2009. We treat this case in the same manner as the various “grand jury presentments” (see supra, Note 5) -
- i.e., given that it was never officially docketed and considered by the court, it does not “count” as a case for purposes of the Scorecard. However, we include it here, with a link
to the filing for reference purposes.

“indictment” issued against Obama on grounds that he was not a natural born citizen eligible to serve as

Note: According to some websites, Fitzpatrick has filed a few complaints against Obama, including, most recently, a “criminal complaint” reportedly filed with the Clerk of
Court, Catawba County, NC, File #09R81 (see HAmerican Grand Jury (“AGJ”) Article H). To date, no official record (docket, etc.) has been located; and court personnel could not
confirm the accuracy of these reports. Jul 1, 2010 Update: While we did not find any official docket of this case, the subsequent prosecution of Fitzpatrick makes clear that he did,
in fact, attempt to file a criminal complaint against Obama, but was rejected. See, e.g., Bill Poovey/AP, “Cases :involving attempted citizen’s arrest delayed,” as published online
by the Washington Examiner (June 29, 2010).

allegations that Obama was not born in the United States and is not a United States citizen, will be denied as

15
Judd has filed more than 50 election cases and, in August 2012, filed motions for relief from prior judgments in which he alleged that Obama is not a “natural
born citizen” and sought to remove Obama from 2012 election ballot. We did not include all these cases in the scorecard because the vast majority of them were
summarily dismissed given that Judd has been declared a vexatious litigant. For a complete listing of known Judd cases, however, see below.

2. Judd v. State of Alabama, No. 1:11-cv-00282-KD-M
(S.D. Ala. Sept. 13, 2012 order)
RECAP | PACER [Noting that Judd had previously been declared vexatious litigant] …”In this circumstance,
plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed without prejudice on procedural grounds. His complaint
would not have been dismissed if he had shown that he was in imminent danger of serious
physical injury. He did not do so at that time and does not do so now. Instead, plaintiff raises
arguments which may have been appropriate had his complaint been dismissed on the merits.
Thus, he has failed to “demonstrate a justification for relief so compelling that the district
court was required to grant [the] motion.” Id. at 806. Accordingly, his motion is DENIED.”

“Plaintiff Judd did not pay the filing fee required to proceed with a civil action in federal
court. His application for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees was denied. Judd
appealed that decision, but his appeal was dismissed as frivolous. This case is closed. The
motions filed by Judd at dockets 14, 15, and 16 are therefore DENIED. The court will not
entertain any further motions, letters or other documents from Judd. If Judd sends further
papers relating to this case, the Clerk of Court shall not file them, but instead shall mail them

RECAP | PACER
Plaintiff Keith Russell Judd, who is confined in the Federal Correctional Institution-
Texarkana in Texarkana, Texas, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
1983 and Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. On July 13, 2011, the Court dismissed
this action under the “three strikes” provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff filed a Notice
of Appeal. On October 24, 2011, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a mandate
dismissing the appeal and stating “because the appeal is so insubstantial as to not warrant
further review, it shall not be permitted to proceed.”
On August 2, 2012, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Relief from Judgment (Doc. 15). The

The Court finds nothing in Plaintiff’s allegations in his motion to reconsider that merits
reconsideration. Plaintiff’s arguments regarding a convicted felon’s right to vote were
previously addressed in the order of dismissal. Plaintiff’s request that the Court order that he
be awarded presidential delegates is not the subject of this action and do not justify
reconsideration of the Court’s Order of Dismissal. Similarly, President Obama’s citizenship
status is not at issue in this case.”

Plaintiff fails to articulate any mistake made by this Court, Plaintiff fails to provide any newly

fails to provide any other reason that justifies relief. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). Plaintiff’s

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff did not show he was in imminent danger of serious physical

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), the court may relieve a party from a final
judgment for mistake, inadvertence, newly discovered evidence, fraud, void judgment,
satisfaction of judgment, or any other reason that justifies relief. Plaintiff does not specify the
reason for seeking relief from judgment, and neither is the court able to identify any

In his motion, Judd does not assert any of above enumerated grounds for granting him relief or
otherwise show exceptional circumstances warranting such relief. Rather, he reasserts the
claims set forth in his proposed complaint and further asserts a challenge to President Obama’s
citizenship.

grounds)
Oklahoma
RECAP | PACER
The August 3, 2012 Motion [Doc. No. 32] is denied. The judgment [Doc. No. 33] from which
Plaintiff purports to seek relief is a judgment dismissing this action without prejudice because
Plaintiff failed to respond to the Court’s Order denying his motion to proceed in forma
pauperis and directing payment of the filing fee required to proceed with this action. In the
current motion, Plaintiff fails to address any of the bases for the Order and the subsequent
Judgment. Instead, he asserts arguments having nothing to do with the requirements for in
forma pauperis status or the findings set out in the July 30, 2012 Order and subsequent
Judgment. The August 23, 2012 Motion [Doc. No. 38] is stricken, as it is merely a duplicate of
the August 3, 2012 Motion.

RECAP | PACER
On August 8, 2012, or more than ten (10) months after dismissal of the appeal, Plaintiff filed a
“motion for relief from judgment or order under Twenty Fourth Amendment” (Dkt. # 16). He
requests the Court to order, inter alia, that all convicted and incarcerated felons be registered
to vote, that President Barack Obama be removed from the 2012 presidential ballot, and that
all delegates be award to Plaintiff. Plaintiff never paid the $350 filing fee for this action. This
Court has determined, on numerous occasions, that Plaintiff is subject to the three-strikes rule
of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). He has not provided any relevant legal authority to support a claim
that the statute is unconstitutional or does not apply to him. For all the reasons discussed in
prior Orders (Dkt. #s 3 and 7), the Court finds that Plaintiff’s arguments asserted in his motion
for relief from judgment under the Twenty Fourth Amendment are frivolous and without
merit. His motion shall be denied.”

RECAP | PACER
“Plaintiff initiated this suit on May 25, 2011, seeking an injunction forcing his placement on
Oregon's 2012 presidential primary election ballot and a declaration that convicted felons have
a right to vote in the primary. Plaintiff also sought in forma pauperis (IFP) status which the
court denied without prejudice due to a failure to provide the correct form. After the court
provided plaintiff with the correct form, plaintiff refused to complete the application and the
court dismissed the case on July 15, 2011.
On September 16, 2011, plaintiff appealed. On October 18, 2011, the Ninth Circuit found the
appeal "so insubstantial as to not warrant further review." On October 20, 2011, plaintiff
sought leave to appeal IFP. The court denied the motion in light of the previous orders in the
case.
Plaintiff now seeks relief from the judgment and an order to register all convicted/incarcerated
felons to vote in all 2012 elections and to remove Barack Obama from Oregon's presidential
ballot. To date, plaintiff has not paid a filing fee or obtained IFP status. However, in
anticipation of a denial of the motion, plaintiff has already filed a notice of appeal to the
Supreme Court. To the extent this court still has jurisdiction to rule on the motion, the motion
is denied.”

“Plaintiff Keith Russell Judd is an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institute in Texarkana,
Texas. After the court denied the plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis under 28
U.S.C. § 1915(g), and the plaintiff failed to submit the $350 filing fee, this matter was
dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals
dismissed the plaintiff’s appeal for want of prosecution on January 20, 2012.
Now before the court is a motion for relief from judgment (ECF No. 25). The plaintiff does
not specify under which rule of civil procedure the motion was filed, but the court construes
the motion as filed pursuant to Rule 60(b).
* * *
The present motion does not present any basis for reconsideration of the judgment previously
entered against the plaintiff, and certainly does not address any of the grounds recognized by
Rule 60 as providing a legitimate reason for relief from judgment. The plaintiff’s motion is
utterly frivolous, and the court declines to consider it.
The motion (ECF No. 25) is hereby DENIED.
Further, the plaintiff is given notice that this case is CLOSED and he SHALL NOT submit
any more filings in this action. The Clerk of Court is is DIRECTED not to accept any

Case No. 7:11-cv-00258-JCT (W.D. Va., motion filed

RECAP | PACER
The court summarily dismissed this civil action without prejudice because plaintiff, a prisoner,
has three strikes against him under U.S.C. §1915(g) and did not pay the $350.00 filing fee or
establish an exception to the “three strikes” provision. Plaintiff’s appeal of that dismissal has
also been dismissed. Plaintiff has since brought two frivolous motions, seeking
reconsideration of his claims in this action. Because the motions are frivolous and offer no
ground upon which this court finds relief to be warranted, it is now ORDERED that plaintiff’s
motions (ECF Nos. 17 & 18) are DENIED. (Feb. 7, 2013 Order)

grounds);
West Virginia
RECAP | PACER
On January 18, 2012, the Court entered an Order and Judgment adopting the Report and
Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge James E. Seibert, and dismissing without
prejudice the pro se petitioner Keith Russell Judd’s (“Judd”) 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint (dkt.
no. 14). More than six months later, on August 2, 2012, Judd filed the pending motion
seeking, inter alia, relief from judgment. (Dkt. No. 18).
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) provides that a court may, upon motion or upon such
terms as are just, relieve a party from a final judgment, order, or proceeding …
* * *
Here, Judd has failed to specify what provision of Rule 60(b), if any, he relies upon for his
motion. Instead, he simply reiterates the same frivolous arguments the Court rejected over six
months ago. Accordingly, the Court DENIES his motion (dkt. no. 18).”

2:2011-cv-00369 (S.D. W.Va. motion filed Aug. 2,

West Virginia
RECAP | PACER
Plaintiff does not allege any basis for relief under 60(b)’s subparts. Though his renewed
argument that the Twenty-Fourth Amendment trumps the PLRA’s application in this case
could perhaps be interpreted as alleging legal error in the Court’s previous Memorandum
Opinion, legal error is not a ground for relief under Rule 60(b). See Russell v. Delco Remy
Div. of Gen. Motors Corp., 51 F.3d 746, 749 (7th Cir. 1995). Further, this argument is as
utterly meritless now as it was when the Court issued its earlier Memorandum Opinion.
Having previously held that Plaintiff cannot proceed in this action without paying the requisite
filing fee, the Court will not revisit its September 6, 2011 Memorandum Opinion or its
accompanying Judgment Order.
